The Best Way to Juice Celery

Learn how to juice celery with the Kuvings EVO820! Dee from Plant Based Pros shows you how easy it is to make celery juice. This is perfect for anyone who wants the health benefits of one of the most popular juices available. She uses the Kuvings EVO820 to quickly separate the juice from the pulp and creates a delicious emerald celery juice.

Step 1:

Break apart celery and wash each piece. Make sure that the inside is washed since debri and dirt tends to get stuck there.

Step 2:

Cut the celery into 1″ pieces. Start from the greenest part and work your way to the base of the celery (the white part). Throw away the white part.

Step 3:

Close the chute of the EVO820 juicer and start feeding it handfuls of celery. Make sure to watch the pulp and juice output so you don’t overwhelm the juicer. Once the the pulp and the juice start trickling it out, you add more.

Try your celery juice!

Why You Need Cashew Cheese (and easy, unsoaked cashew cheese recipe)

Contrary to popular belief, being Plant Based or Vegan doesn’t mean that you miss out on all the cheesy recipes that non-vegans eat. There are tons of dairy free options at grocery stores. Most are loaded with unhealthy preservatives and ingredients that I cannot even pronounce. Nut cheese, when made with plant-based ingredients, is not only delicious, but healthier than its casein counterpart. It’s also extremely easy to whip up so there’s no need to buy it at the store.

Why Cashew Cheese is Healthy

Aside from being super delicious, plant-based cashew cheese is rich with Vitamin B, Calcium, Protein and Fiber. It has more vitamins and minerals than dairy. Unlike animal cheese, it does not have saturated fats which increase cholesterol and your risk of heart disease and stroke.

How cashew cheese helps with weight loss

Since cashews are high in protein and healthy fat, cashew cheese will help you stay full longer and reduce cravings. You can use the cheese to make all kinds of recipes for pizza, pasta sauce, dressings and dips. It will instantly make any bland recipe delicious and nutritious, which makes it easy to continue eating healthy.

To Soak or Not to Soak

If you have time, it’s best to soak the cashews. This will make them soft and the creamy consistency be easily achievable. When cashes are soaked, the enzymes are neutralized so our bodies digest them better. All you have to do is get raw, unsalted cashews, put them in a container and fill the container up with water. Wait at least 2 hours or simply do it the night before and TADA! It really is that simple! If you are in a pinch, you can simply use raw unsalted cashews.  I’ve done this before and used my Kuvings Power Blender to grind them up. The consistency was creamy and buttery in minutes. *Note that high speed blenders are the best tools to use to achieve creaminess.

Decadent Peanut Butter & Chocolate Plant-Based Protein Shake

Decadent Peanut Butter & Chocolate Protein Shake

This week’s recipe is one of the cleanest and most delicious plant-based protein shakes you’ll ever taste. It’s so good you’ll actually forget how healthy it is for you.

For the longest time I hated protein shakes. When I first started working out, my trainer gave me one to try. It was whey protein and water mixed in a shaker. I only tasted the chemicals and artificial sweeteners. No thanks! I figured drinking all those chemicals was worse than skipping breakfast altogether.

I had to find another way to take in my morning nutrients without being late to work… And so my hunt for a plant-based, quick and filling protein shake began.

I started with the most important ingredient: protein powder. I wanted something clean and plant based with no added chemicals or artificial colors. A couple of protein powders made the cut, but the flavors were often too earthy for my taste.

In comes Garden of Life Plant-Based Sport Protein. This is an amazing protein powder that is not only plant based, but also tastes incredible! I could rave about this protein for days!

Once I found the protein powder I started adding ingredients. I searched for ingredients that complimented my taste buds as much as they improved my health.
